Community Service Program for Students
Voice For Horses Rescue offers community service hours to both junior high and high school students. We share the passion of Equine rescue and caring and helping make a better place for the horses who have been abused, neglected, abandoned, etc.. This programs gives students the opportunity to volunteer at VFHRN. The student gets involved not only with the day‐to‐day maintenance of the Rescue Facility but also experience the “how to” hands on care of the horses. By watching our interaction with the horses. The students learn, first hand, about the responsibility of Horse Care and Ownership. Through this program, the students experience how caring for these horses will teach them attributes and qualities that allow them to be better human being and enrich their lives forever.
